Resignation call over Iraq murder
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3721207.stm

The father of a US man whose murder in Iraq was videotaped has blamed the US defence secretary for his son's death.


Michael Berg said he held Washington responsible, particularly Donald Rumsfeld, whom he said should resign. snip

Mr Berg told Israeli Army radio: "I very definitely do hold the department of defence, the FBI, the Bush administration and especially Donald Rumsfeld responsible.

"He said he is taking responsibility for the sexual abuse scandal... he hasn't really taken responsibility, he didn't lose his son, he didn't lose anything," Mr Berg added.

1. I feel sympathy for the Berg family. How terrible for a parent to see or
know how that their child died in such a grusome manner, and to know that their child's death was preventable.

2. and also to know
that his kid died under such murky circumstances; ie a very slight possibility his own country had something to do with his death

3. The only reason anyone resigns from this administration
is if they tell the president the truth. Rummy will never lose his job by playing the administration's game.

4. Bushco vowed to find
and prosecute the killers of the contractors who's burned bodies were violated. Have they vowed to find the killers of Nicholas Berg ? If not, why not ?

6. Iraq Murder
One question. Why would Abu Musab al-Zarqawi cover his head to murder Nick Berg after he had already stated who he was???????????

12. Why have no other hostages been shown in rooms with yellow walls,
white chairs and in "Gitmo" prison-wear?

Many questions, yes?
